So long story short I got a 1996 228G late last summer and installed a Raymarine ES97 MFD, a new VHF and did canvas updates over the winter but after using the boat this summer I am already planning the next projects.
1. The boat doesn't have trim tabs and after reading many posts here I think they may help improve the ride during family outings. The question is really what size is the best? I have seen some recommendations for 10 x 12 Bennett tabs such as these.

They just seem small for this size boat?
2. The second upgrade I would like to do is add a full width swim platform. I have seen these on other boats of this vintage but when I reached out to my local grady dealer no one has one or could even get the specs on it to see if something could be made. So I am hoping someone could help me out with more info on them.
